SUEK-Kuzbass specialists – winners of the REN Cup of the CASE-IN championship

Young specialists from SUEK-Kuzbass won prizes in the REN Cup of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship. The competition was held in Moscow at the site of the International Forum "Russian Energy Week".

The Youth Day brought together four thousand schoolchildren, students and young professionals from Russia and abroad. The central event of the program was the REN Cup, which was attended by 31 teams of young specialists from 36 major Russian companies in the fuel and energy complex. This year's competition was dedicated to the popularization of engineering and technical education, career opportunities in the fuel and energy sector and the development of human resources in the industry.

As part of the REN Cup of the League of Young Professionals, participants presented case solutions for scaling digital and engineering solutions for related industries to the expert jury. Two teams, which included employees of SUEK-Kuzbass, presented projects aimed at improving the efficiency of production processes in the energy sector. Among the proposed developments are drainage technologies adapted from the oil industry for the coal industry and the creation of a gearless drive of a mine conveyor based on a serial wind turbine.

The participants were faced with the task of not only presenting ideas, but also justifying their effectiveness, including by reducing operating costs. The jury highly appreciated the developments of the Company's specialists, noting their technical validity, innovative potential and practical significance. As a result of the presentations, one of the teams won the "silver" of the competition, the other took the "bronze". The prizes confirmed the high level of engineering training of young specialists of SUEK-Kuzbass and the relevance of their solutions for the industry.

"For us, the championship was an opportunity to test our ideas in practice and get feedback from industry experts. We worked on the solution as a single team: we analyzed production processes, looked for opportunities to improve technologies, and sought to offer a solution that would be useful not only to our Company, but also to other energy companies. The medals are the result of a joint effort and an incentive to continue developing engineering initiatives," said Alyona Gopp, Manager of the SUEK–Kuzbass Shipping Department.

In addition to the competitions, the company's delegation took part in round tables, interactive sessions and excursions, and also visited the REN Cup KVN festival, where humor was organically combined with scientific thought and topical topics of energy development.

The participation of young SUEK-Kuzbass specialists in the International CASE-IN Engineering Championship confirms that the company's future is shaped by proactive, technologically competent personnel capable of offering promising ideas for production. The Youth Day of the Russian Energy Week has become a platform for the presentation of such initiatives and the exchange of professional experience. Next year, the theme of the XV anniversary season of the CASE-IN International Engineering Championship will be "New Cycle Energy". The project is supported by the Presidential Platform "Russia – the land of Opportunities".
